The Rake Wronged: A Prequel to The Seducers of Soho Erotic Regency Series (The Seducers of Soho)

Description

Alexander Sinclair, the Duke of Ravenswood, has always been a rule unto himself. When Xan suddenly decides to do his duty and take a wife for the sake of an heir and spare, he invites 12 women to visit his palatial mansion and compete for the privilege of becoming his Duchess.

The weekend at his country home is nothing like he ever expected, nor is the woman he chooses. Sultry-looking redheaded Ada, only a baroness, might not be his equal, but he’s sure she has every quality he’s looking for in a wife: witty, beautiful, and passionate under her cool exterior. She seems to be playing hard to get in terms of his fun and games, but in his arrogance, he’s sure he can melt her reserve and win her for his own.

The trouble is, Ada’s not playing at all. She’s no siren, but a woman in love with her childhood sweetheart. She has NO interest in the Duke or the sexy games he plays. In fact, she can’t wait to escape. Xan isn’t used to taking no for an answer. What will Xan do when he discovers he’s been wronged?

This novella is the origin story of how the sexy group the Seducers of Soho was founded, which we will see more of in The Rake’s Waltz and the other books in the series.
